What Do You Do When You Genuinely Feel like You Dislike Everybody?

I've been there!!! I totally understand. I'm a forgiving person and I overlook a lot but sometimes I've just had it!!!! I take a break from family when it's like this. That always helps. Sometimes I have to talk to them about their rudeness or whatever. You also have to decide to forgive them and let things go. If it's an ongoing offense, talk to them and take a break from them. People do learn how to treat others if you do these two things. Good luck and I wish you the best! Hang in there!!

First of all good for you for recognizing this. It is possible you are suffering from depression if you are isolating yourself. Check with your doctor or a therapist.
This description really makes me think of how my mother was. She really suffered by not letting go of those kind of feelings.

How old is that new baby of yours? Have you always felt like this, or are these new feelings. Could be Post Partum stuff going on if your baby is only a few months old and you haven't always felt this way.

No 25 year old should be that angry & sad. It's not normal or healthy. Both are signs of depression, or at minimum, some type of chemical imbalance. Possibly (or not) caused by having a baby, or already there before baby. This about you

Talk to your doctor, or a counselor, or a combo of both. It sounds like you have a lot of things that you need to work on. You deserve to be happy & have friends & good people in your life, and so does your child. You can't blame anyone else for your unhappiness, you have to put your big girl panties on & figure out what's going on with you.

Depression is what my doctor would say. I felt the same way for months after giving birth. I was midthirties and we had our own home and no money problems.
I started going places with me and the baby once a week. I also looked into MOPS but didn't go until baby was six months.

It sounds like you are struggling with depression. Do not wait. Talk to somebody, a professional. Even if you do take a break from your family the depression will be with you and make it worse. When you are not depressed anymore, you will not be thinking of how others hurt you making it easier to move on.

If that happened to me id see it as MY problem.

You are the common denominator here.

It sounds like you need to learn to forgive...not for their sake, but for your own. When you hold it all inside of you and don't let it go, it eats at you and changes you as a person. In a way, it chains you down. I'd find books on forgiveness and learning to be slow to be offended, etc, and see if any help you.

I'd also look and see if they are really messed up people who are repeatedly hurting you and you need to give yourself space from them. Maybe there is a reason you are feeling so hurt!

Whatever it is, I hope you figure out how to find that peace inside of you. You deserve it. Don't ever let anyone treat you in a way that ruins who you are inside. Let their poison out of you and keep yourself mentally and emotionally healthy.

ADDED: Just read the other comments. I hadn't even thought of depression. That is a good suggestion too. Maybe there is some reaosn you are feeling depressed? Therapy might help (and I'm someone who thinks everyone would benefit from therapy from the RIGHT therapist!).

One word girlfriend. THERAPY.. talk to someone.

You said you "just" had a baby so it may not be PMS but Post Partum Depression. Ask your doctor and they can help you if it is.

I'm a wise 44 yo. I don't have many friends and have limited contact with the small family I have. When I was 39 it hit me that life was going by WAY TOO FAST and I didn't want to waste it being unhappy. So I decided to divorce my husband and get rid of everything and everyone negative in my life and to not do anything I didn't really want to. I did that and it has made a HUGE difference in my life. I am now married to a wonderful man who is great with me and our kids. I have limited my time and conversations with family members. I have done the same with *friends* whom I know aren't *really* my friends but are good enough to keep in the wide circle. Those friends in the close circle are of course closer to me. You must understand that NO ONE is perfect, including YOU. And these same people probably dislike you at times as well. Have a talk with all of them and tell them how you feel and that you want to have a better relationship with them and that you might need to limit your time and conversations with them to do that. Or simply start to do it on your own without telling them you are going to do it. Buy some self help books too. (You have lots of time to read since you are at home being miserable and bitter). =) Good luck!!!

Just take them in small doses...like medicines!

I did read any of the responses, but the first thing that comes to mind is postpartum depression. It's more common than people think, and I'm disgusted that there's still this societal stigma attached to it. It's a chemical issue in the brain, no one CHOOSES to be hit with PPD. I say this because I experienced it with my first, I felt the same way you do, and I didn't do anything about it until my son was 16 months old. I wish I would've gotten help or reached out sooner. Find a new parent's group. If you're breastfeeding, find a breastfeeding support group. Talk to your pediatrician about some recommendations. Find a therapy group. Something, anything that you can talk about what's going on.

you have gotten some great advice already. could definitely be post partum depression. i would talk to your dr. first, and then maybe seek counselling. i hope you feel better! you are absolutely right that this is not normal...good luck!

How old is your new baby? I think you need to talk to your doctor asap, because this sounds like possibly post partum depression. I usually despise going to doctors because they "never" listen to me, but they WILL listen to you on this, and take it seriously. You probably weren't this miserable before getting pregnant even if people got on your nerves before, right?
There are secondary factors to your mood and feelings (which are very real to YOU right now, even if not necessarily true, accurate, or fair). Lack of sleep, the pressure of being super mom, wanting to bond and not "share" or hear what everyone else wants you to do for your baby, but then getting overwhelmed and just TIRED. Needing to eat and take care of yourself. Hormones still all over the place. Those are all factors. But it starts with going to the doctor and letting him/her determine what's really going on and the best solution for you. Good luck, don't ignore it. Even if someone hurts your feelings (a mom, baby's daddy, bf, etc) that doesn't make them untrustworthy necessarily. Lean on them if they are able/willing to help.

It sounds like depression to me. Depression makes me hate everyone and everything and feel pretty grouchy or mad a lot of the time. Go talk to your doctor. That is a terrible way to live.

I feel the same way alot. Although I DO like my husband lol. But I have huge beefs w/my mom, my sister, my MIL, SIL, the list goes on. I am a very sensitive person. And I like you, I tend to not forget stuff. It's hard getting past people treating you like a second class citizen, but yet expect you to kiss their A$$.
You didn't sepcify what it is about them that you dislike. Or is it just them in general? I am 36, but I've lived ALOT of life. So I'm kind of at the crossroads of just accepting that I'm probably not going to like the way most people are. And just graciously deal with them as I need to. I don't have alot of friends either. Believe me there are times when I think, "Whats my problem?" but when I stop to analyze why I quit being friends with someone, or didn't pursue a friendship, I never regret my reasons, or change my mind.
My only advice I guess is to just not set expectations for other people. So that you aren't disappointed. Realize you can't change anyone, and try to just take them for what they are. And put yourself around them as much as you can take!

Hi there, talking is really helpful whether it's a therapist or a friend, or join a group on meetup.com and get out sometimes. Meet new people. You can also talk to a herbologist or nutritionest for good natural tips. The food in this country is not healthy, that can be a factor. I don't care for pharmacudicals because of the side affects so natural may be the way for you. Watch a funny movie, sometimes you need to change what goes on in your life...think half full, smell the roses ...you get it! Good Luck :)
